File Type Presets

Purpose

Show all available file type presets that can be used with the `--include-type` flag during indexing. Presets are named groups of glob patterns that make it easy to index specific categories of files without writing individual patterns.

Usage

/agent-brain:agent-brain-types

Examples

/agent-brain:agent-brain-types

Execution

Display all available file type presets:

agent-brain types list

# JSON output for scripting
agent-brain types list --json

Expected Output

Preset       Extensions
python       *.py, *.pyi, *.pyw
javascript   *.js, *.jsx, *.mjs, *.cjs
typescript   *.ts, *.tsx
go           *.go
rust         *.rs
java         *.java
csharp       *.cs
c            *.c, *.h
cpp          *.cpp, *.hpp, *.cc, *.hh
web          *.html, *.css, *.scss, *.jsx, *.tsx
docs         *.md, *.txt, *.rst, *.pdf
text         *.md, *.txt, *.rst
pdf          *.pdf
code         *.py, *.pyi, *.pyw, *.js, *.jsx, ...

Use with: agent-brain index <path> --include-type <preset>

Output

Show the preset table and explain how to use presets with the index command. Provide examples of combining presets:

# Index only Python files
agent-brain index ./src --include-type python

# Index Python and documentation files
agent-brain index ./project --include-type python,docs

# Index all code files
agent-brain index ./repo --include-type code

# Combine presets with custom patterns
agent-brain index ./project --include-type typescript --include-patterns "*.json"

Notes

• Presets can be combined with commas: `--include-type python,docs`
• Presets can be combined with `--include-patterns` for custom patterns
• The `code` preset is a union of all language presets
• These presets are local (no server connection required)
• Use `agent-brain index --help` to see all indexing options
